I've no desire to go to JL ... it's for "old, portly, busy-body women" in my past experience.... not "my sort of shop" at all .....and I'd rather spend the rest of my life never entering it to be honest

Well that's me told!

Anyway, capacity is 5Kg by weight, but it's the physical size that's an issue with sofa covers - especially for 3-seaters.

Fwiw, you put the cushions in separately to main bit.

( I dislike separating sets when I wash things, but do this sometimes)

I am talking of the covers only ... not the cushions. Just the covers won't fit. I've tried in the past.... machine's too small. It's no good washing, say, two cushion covers - you have to wash the whole sofa covers set at the same time or it'd not match. It's the sofa cover that won't fit.

I am looking at fabric, not leather, as it's cheaper - and I'd intend to use covers/throws I thought - and they'd slide off leather..... and faux leather's just plastic, so anything would slip off too.

Nothing against a cream, leather, sofa ... except [a] cost .... throws/etc would all end up on the floor as they'd slide off every time I moved.

Also, you can't "punch" the cushions to get comfy

I'm none of the above.

Its a good, broad base middle England sort of shop. Men go there, women go there. I used to get changed in the loos in Oxford street there a bit because was convenient between things or in peter jones. When I was little my shoes came from Peter jones. ( which is the same shop really) I think my school uniform for some schools was carried there too.

It was cheaper and plainer than the posher department shops. It was where middle England often went before ikea for sensible, well made reliable stuff off a shelf.

There fore its a bit like nursery food, comfortable, safe, and reliable. I was very apple to buy my fridge there for example, I knew I could probably get cheaper, but I also felt would be rippe off badly and after sales would be fair.

Ok

Sensible not to go for white really. But have admit, I think it looks lovely. If I were pet less I think it would be a treat that might convince me to this all white thing. :rotfl:

I've never reached the dizzy heights of middle England, which is why I feel uncomfortable in there.... expensive, over-fussy, stuff at high prices. And shiny people, with shiny lives, shiny hair and good clothes.

You also need to be visitorless.... my two, to date, have managed to spill coffee (furniture arm) and coke (all down their white top).



I've had a third visitor, who was mostly confined to outdoors as they had a dog that promptly pee'd up the shed

I want a sofa visitors can sit on .... without me leaping out in panic every time they breathe in/out.
